Not strictly electrical but I'll be somebody here has some experience...
I am thinking about using the DecalPRO system for my instrument panel. Do you have any experience with it?

Art, I used that system on my panel. It takes some practice to get good results, but it does work. I did the panel 8 years ago and it's held up well.

Greetings Art.
I have the Decal Pro system and it is great, although somewhat complicated.
You print out your labels using a Laser printer (cannon, I think is not allowed)
You then take your label sheet and using a heat/plastic laminatior-- has to be the type they recommend, and I believe sell-- make several passes of your label sheet with a few types of transfer foil and paper. You then
soak the labels that you have created to remove them from the carrier paper, dry them and using a special fabric adhesive (available at fabric stores) spray the back of your labels and apply them to their home burnishing them in. I put them on my leather instrument panel and I think that they came out well. There is a steep learning curve. Somewhere in the technique there is a heat gun (hair dryer is not acceptable) (the labels on my panel were black.\
My next step is to do my switch labels (in white) which requires yet an additional step or two. I have postponed that for a year or two, but will get back to that soon. Look at the videos on the website, although the actual technique is slightly different... they will tell you.
Great product, difficult to use steep learning curve [img]http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d20638/03[/img].
